Microwave bacon, in package, on high for 1 minute or until slices separate easily. Line a paper plate with paper towels & layer bacon – 8 slices per plate, in 2 layers. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes (you want them soft enough to wrap around the water chestnuts) and cut each piece in half.
Wrap each water chestnut in one half piece of bacon. Secure with a toothpick and place in a closed container (Aunt Mary uses a plastic bag). Pour soy sauce over water chestnuts and marinate for 2 - 4 hours, turning occasionally. Remove water chestnuts from sauce and arrange in a single layer on a paper towel lined plate. Microwave on high for 3 - 4 minutes.
